Our First Egg!
Robin produced this blood-curdling grimace when told to “hold up the egg and smile.” I think it’s probably for the best that we cut short his modeling career! (On the other hand, he wants to be “an evil scientist” for Hallowe’en, and I think this expression will serve him well.)
Sam discovered the egg in a corner of our yard today. I don’t know if it’s the first our hens have produced, but it’s the first we’ve found—they’ve been making a lot of noise lately, so I was wondering if they might start laying!

I know you understand just how exciting this is 🙂

Yay! That’s so exciting. (Collecting eggs from the hen house was my favorite childhood chore. Once, I was lucky enough to find a snake curled up in the nest box–I loooove snakes.)

I like snakes too, but I wouldn’t promise not to shriek if I found one in the nest box!
The first egg was laid in a flowerbox, which makes me suspect we may need to go hunting all over the yard for eggs. It’ll be like Easter every day!
